Welcome

Experienced Pittsburgh Lawyer

Providing Effective Legal Counsel Since 1980

If you are seeking to resolve a legal issue, there are few things more frustrating than not understanding the options that are available. An experienced lawyer can help successfully navigate the legal process, whether you are concerned about:

Elder law (Medicaid and asset protection) for yourself of other family members

Estate Planning

Probate and estate administration

Business and contract matters

Real Estate

I am attorney James S. Vergotz, and I have over 25 years of experience offering clients the legal counsel they need to resolve their issues. I provide hands-on individual attention. From my Pittsburgh office, I represent clients throughout the North Hills and Western Pennsylvania. My practice is a general practice including legal matters related to estate planning and probate, elder law, business law and real estate. Contact me online or call 412-847-5558 to schedule your free initial consultation. In home or in office visits are available.

Personalized Legal Representation

During my practice, I have helped hundreds of clients resolve their legal matters. Although many clients have similar concerns, I never assume I know exactly what you are going through. I take the time to talk with my clients to understand their situation and goals.

In my opinion, effective legal counsel is comprised of two primary components, and I strive to offer both to my clients:

Legal knowledge: With nearly three decades of exposure to multiple legal matters, I have developed a good understanding of the law and its practical application.

Personalized legal counsel: I carefully listen to my clients to identify their goals and to fully understand and identify the important legal and personal issues involved with their case. My clients are important to me. I personally and promptly return phone calls and keep them informed about their matters. In addition to providing an overview of the law and its applications, I make sure my clients have the information they need to make informed decisions about their legal situation. I help clients understand the short and long-term ramifications of each option.

Fees

Fees are a subject that needs to be addressed. There are various options available and I am always willing to discuss them. Particularly in the areas of elder law (involving Medicaid and asset protection) and estate planning, taking action now may be financially advantageous to you or your loved ones in the future. These are value added areas.

Contact me online or call 412-847-5558 to schedule your free initial consultation. My office is open from 9-5, with early morning, evening and weekend appointments available. My office is conveniently located on McKnight Road a few miles north of the Ross Park Mall in the North Hills section of Pittsburgh. I am also willing to travel to the homes of clients who are unable to come to my office.
